I saw this movie yesterday on Netflix and here are my full thoughts on this movie. It's bland & forgettable, it wasn't that great. The pacing is too slow, the acting is bad, the fight scenes are dull & uninspired, but the story is okay though, it makes sense at some places and Michael Dudikoff's character Jersey Bellini wasn't half bad, but even he wasn't enough to save this movie. So in the end of the day, if you got nothing else better to do, then I would recommend watching this movie, just to see how bland this movie really is, but otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time with this movie. I notice that the producers of this movie made a sequel a year later after this, so I may check it out sometime to see if they learn from their mistakes & improved them. 4 out of 10 for me (poor/mediocre).Rated R for violence, some coarse language, and brief nudity.

Watchable yet highly forgettable Dudikoff film, in this one he's a bounty hunter who teams with rival bounty hunter, B.B., to protect an informant from the mob. Dudikoff's action sequences are perfectly fine if underwhelming, but Lisa Howard who play BB is laughably bad in hers. The chemistry between the two is passable though. Meanwhile a neighborhood kid only exists to be leverage against Dudikoff's character. In a somewhat related gripe, seeing Michael in a backwards hat is just wrong. It's a shame because the opening of the film lulled me into thinking that this direct to video flick would be better than it turned out being.Eye Candy: Tina McKiney and Carla Elders both get briefly topless

This is an enjoyable enough Dudikoff vehicle , with some above average action scenes, and good chemistry between Michael Dudikoff and Lisa Howard!. All the characters are cool , and the story while routine, is entertaining enough, plus Michael Dudikoff is simply amazing in this!. It's nothing special, however it makes for a great breezy time waster!, plus Benjamin Ratner is very good as the main villain. Dudikoff is very funny in this film, and had some good lines, and i thought the finale was quite good as well, however the film still had potential to be better. Ashanti Williams is kind of annoying as the kid, and this almost skirts to a **1/2 at times, plus the opening was kind of dumb. Still this is one of Dudikoff's better films, as a lot of the time, he has to work with a bad script, at least this one was decent. The ending is really funny, and i loved Dudikoff's peppermint spray strategy for crooks or villains!, plus i was actually quite surprised, by the performances. This is an enjoyable enough Dudikoff vehicle , with some above average action scenes, and good chemistry between Dudikoff and Lisa Howard, and i say it's well worth the watch!. The Direction is good. George Erschbamer does a good job here, with decent camera work, good angles, and keeping the film at a fast pace!. The Acting is great. Michael Dudikoff is amazing as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, funny, had good chemistry with Lisa Howard, kicked that ass, had lots of charisma, and for once had a decent script to work with!, he is a very talented and underrated Action hero in my opinion (Dudikoff Rules!!!!). Lisa Howard is quite cute, and does excellent here, she was very likable, had good chemistry with Dudikoff, and seemed very comfortable with him, i liked her a lot, she can also kick ass with the best of them!. Benjamin Ratner is good as the main villain, and was somewhat menacing, when on screen, he did a good job. Freddy Andreiuci is OK here as Izzi, but didn't have much to do. Ashanti Williams is so so as the kid, he got on my nerves at times but at least managed to be somewhat bearable. Rest of the cast do OK. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5(almost a **1/2)

Give me some money. I'll write this thing, direct it, and shoot it ALL NEXT WEEK."Action movie"? Where?? Not in this box. Without the little *WHACK* and SLAP noises whenever somebody gets hit, there's really no way to tell what's a hit and what's a miss. And did you know? If you point a gun at somebody, and just kinda kills whatever's over there, unless it's your friend. The gun knows, man. Yeah yeah yeah. WHAT?Oh, wait, wait, maybe it's a comedy! Nope, it's just random.The script sucks. Character history? Nah, who needs it. Costs too much, anyway. The plot makes no sense. The actors did uhh, an ok job, I guess. They must've had contracts or something, that they couldn't break. I don't know how they maintained a character through the gauntlet of this script. The directing must've been really good, for them to have any chance. But wait? Same guy wrote it and directed it? Wow, ok, the actors are pretty good, I guess.Man... Wow. This surpasses even Deep Blue Sea, in how much it sucks.Oh, I guess the wardrobe is nice, though it doesn't fit the reality that the script completely failed to mimic. But it isn't really aesthetically pleasing as a whole.It, like the rest of this movie, is like a puzzle put together with a five-pound sledge hammer.And I guess the actors were all, uh, aesthetically pleasing too, unless they were supposed to be stupid. Then they weren't. Because, you know, when you're dumb, you get ugly. That's just how nature works. There are little cells that get killed by neurons firing, called ugly cells. So it's TRUE! The dumber you are, the uglier you get! Ha! I learned something from this movie! And wait! I just lost 5 pounds!Ahhhhhh... Do NOT see this movie.
